Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Oehringen 1632 thaler Dav-6827
This specimen was lot 1298 in SINCONA Auction 97 (Zürich, May 2025), where it sold for 475 CHF (about US$689 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"DEUTSCHLAND Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen, Grafschaft, Craft, 1610-1641. Taler 1632, Nürnberg. Münzmeisterzeichen Kreuz (Georg Nürnberger d. Ä). Selten. Sehr schön. (Germany, county of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen, Craft, 1610-41, thaler of 1632, Nuremberg mint. Rare, Very Fine.)"
Hohenlohe lies in Swabia between Wurttemberg and Ansbach and hardly seems worth the splintering it experienced in the seventeenth century. Several of the counts issued joint coinage, complicating matters. This one year type is expensive.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specifications: silver, this specimen 28.39 g.
